I downloaded and built mplayer-export last night; the libass patches were included. The mencoder patch that Starks cites above also installed cleanly despite the changes to the libass source.

Any hints on a fansub that would put the new libass patches to the test? I have the Ubuntu Intrepid release version in /usr/bin and the newly-compiled version in /usr/local/bin so I could do some side-by-side comparisons.

After that and before the if (IMGFMT_IS_VDPAU(image_format)) simply write :

max_references = 16;

With that mplayer will always initialize 16 reference frames for all of your video, if the player still won't play (error 23) then your out of video RAM and nothing can be done (with 512Mb 16ref@720p ok but only 8 ref@1080p).

To know about all ref frame and all those thing open your video file with an hexa editor and search for the string x264 and you will have all the info, a program call mediainfo can also do that.

IIRC export is the result of doing 'svn export' which will download only bare sources without the metadata.

Sounds right. The file mplayer-checkout-snapshot.bz2 at http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/ is about twice the size of mplayer-export-snapshot.bz2. Upon expanding, I see the checkout version has lots of .svn directories not present in the export version.

Before any misconceptions are created: Kumaji is useless in its current state.
It's nothing but a basic rasterisation framework for vector graphics and some test-cases and a single hacked together proof-of-concept text rendering program. There isn't much resembling subtitles in it, however that doesn't mean it's doomed or whatever, it just means it needs more work. I would love to get some real assistance (software design, code review or programming) for it, but read the blog post.
